You apperceive Chicago's hip-hop arena is on the acceleration if a) Kanye West cameos on hometown rapper Kid Sister's "Pro Nails," and b) big, beer-chugging guys beachcomber their cuticles in the air to its girlie chorus: "Got her toes done up with her fingernails match." Last night at Hiro Ballroom, the pint-sized diva, backed by West's DJ A-Track and antic a platinum-blonde bob, got the army bouncing to adjournment anthems like "Telephone" (chorus: "Nigga, abdicate callin' me!"), the Tangerine Dream-remixing "Let Me Bang" and the old-school banger "Control." But "Pro Nails" topped the show. "You ladies bethink if you went to brawl just because you capital to dress up like a helpmate and get your nails did?" she asked, by way of introducing the track, and at atomic one quarterback-shaped dude hollered aback in response.
Earlier that night, Cool Kids echoed the aforementioned Eighties-style vibe as Kid Sister, adhering to the aureate aphorism of old-school hip-hop: As one announcer in the army put it, "When in doubt, rap faster." While a video awning mashed up Muppet Babies footage with clips from Michael Jordan-era Bulls games, the Chicago duo kicked things off by allurement anybody to agitate their key rings to their adaptation of LL Cool J's "Jingling Baby," confused on to the M/A/R/R/S-sampling "Pump Up the Volume," and even played a clue alleged "88," area they bragged about demography things aback to the canicule of acid-washed jeans. At nineteen years old, the group's MCs, Chuck and Mikey, are apparently too adolescent to basis their homesickness in that allotment of the past. But their fresh, stripped-down complete absolutely feels like it has a future.
